In the early morning of the next day, the sun slowly rose from the west again, and the morning light began to fill the battlefield full of smoke and fire.

And with the full support of a certain bad little head of state, and after the base's top brass reacted and sent more support troops, and even ground armored troops came over and participated in the battle, given that daytime was more suitable for human troops than night

By exerting strength, the battle situation was finally stabilized.

then!

Seeing that there was no hope of victory, that group of subspace demons, numbering at least tens of thousands, were certainly unwilling to give up the rare opportunity to annihilate humanity. However, given that more than half of them had been killed and wounded and their successors were weak, they still had to fight against humanity.

They collapsed under their strong firepower and bombardment and fled in all directions.

The situation is just like they are on the front line of fighting humans.

Anyway, they fled, but they are still scattered everywhere in the vast jungles and wilderness. That situation is still more or less a threat.

However, those things had nothing to do with the soldiers who had fought hard all night. After the disaster, they just rested and rejoiced on the hill position, and began to evacuate in an orderly manner under the cover of the support troops.

In the afternoon, the approximate statistics of the results came out.

This ambush and raid by the demons caused the loss of the ninety-six transport planes of the transport force and the more than 10,000 new recruits who were originally intended to be dispersed to various fronts and strongholds to encircle and suppress the remaining demons who fled from the front lines.

It was very tragic. A total of sixty-two transport planes crashed directly. Fifty-nine pilots were killed on the spot and 3,212 soldiers fell forever in the woods.

Then, at least dozens of people were missing, and as for those who were injured, they were not that important.

After all, with the current level of technology, whether it is the medical technology of the Koprulu Star or the original Huagai Star itself, ordinary injuries, even missing limbs, can quickly be reattached with arms that are stronger than the original ones.

Powerful prosthetics, or even expensive biochemical regeneration of amputated limbs are not a problem at all, it just takes different time and resources, so it is not a big deal.

Although the losses of the demons have not been carefully calculated, judging from the corpses and various miserable debris left at the scene, there is no doubt that they have at least 30,000 to 40,000 casualties.

After all, they had always only swarmed up, but under the continuous bombardment of the base's artillery fire and various fighter planes, they only suffered more than half of the casualties, and they were already worthy of their powerful and fierce reputation.

However, given that the number of demons killed and injured in recent battles at the base is too great, and the location of the war is still within the red mist that permeates subspace, some distance from the front line, and the typhoon is approaching

Gradually dissipated, the base stopped making detailed statistics, and after canceling the original battle plan, the recruits who had gone through the baptism of the war were hurriedly withdrawn to the base for repairs.

Although they suffered heavy losses from the demon ambush this time, in any case, apart from the more than 3,000 people who successfully escaped from the 10,000 recruits, the remaining half of the 6,000 people who survived were still able to gain valuable practical and even fierce combat experience.

The final experience, perhaps, is the only gain that makes commanders at all levels in the base feel somewhat gratified, right?

nature!

No one dares to talk about that kind of thing. After all, no matter how you calculate it, this time seems to be one of the few defeats the base has suffered so far?

Moreover, the current attention of some officers in the mine base command center is not focused on such trivial matters, but on a more important and urgent situation that emerges from a certain reaction, and that situation is astonishingly—

—Screen out hidden and lurking demons or 'rape' and other issues among the army or survivors!

Yes, the commanders of the base suspected that the attack this time was probably caused by those who colluded with the subspace demons and betrayed the mobilization of the army to the subspace demons, and did not hesitate to make enemies of all humans on the Huagai planet.

What a spy did!

Of course, it might not be the so-called 'traitors' or spies, but some demons disguised as humans? After all, the base has long discovered that the appearance of some psykers or demons is not much like that of ordinary humans.

The differences, coupled with the recent rapid expansion of the base's troops, so no one can guarantee whether it will be used by the demons.

But no matter what it is, since that kind of thing happened and almost caused serious consequences, it will naturally be put on the agenda immediately.

Isn’t this?

As soon as the soldiers and wounded under attack had withdrawn, in the office of the security section chief on the fifth floor of the mine base command center, the officer with a general star on his shoulder immediately met with several of his subordinates and began

While pacing in his office, he explained the situation he currently had.

"Everyone!"

"Good news……"

"Just now, our department has received direct authorization from His Excellency General Darius and will be officially activated from today. And you elites who were originally transferred to the Intelligence Department to assist in the work will also be officially transferred back."

"Yes."

"From today on, we will officially start work!"

"Because the situation may be serious, the commander has given me authority. At that time, all departments in the base will cooperate with us unconditionally to a certain extent!"

"Of course."

"Although you have the authority, I don't want you to use chicken feathers as command arrows, and then abuse your authority to affect the normal command and combat of the army!"

"That is absolutely not allowed!"

"So, I hope that your next work and tasks will be carried out in secret. Your existence will not be exposed unless necessary, and you will not affect the normal operation of various units. Do you all understand?"

After saying that, the chief of the security department stopped pacing, and then looked at the elite officers responsible for security and intelligence standing at attention in his office.

"!!"

"I understand!"

"I understand!"

"I understand!!"

The next second, the officers eagerly agreed, and then finally made the section chief nod with some satisfaction.

"very good!"

Then, he continued to pace and talk:

"And since there is good news, there is also bad news..."

"Just in time!"

"That bad news is the first job and the first mission that you and I will complete here on Huagai Star!"

Having said this, the section chief paused, then his expression changed, and then walked quickly back to his desk and said seriously:

"alright!"

"Everyone, please sit down first!"

"Now, I won't say more about what the mission is. First, you take a look at these briefings compiled by the intelligence department for us."

After finishing speaking, the section chief saw that everyone was seated and began to operate the holographic screens on his desktop. Then soon, as the people who were seated opened their personal terminals, the holographic interfaces appeared one by one.

It popped up in front of their eyes, and then it began to display summaries and briefings of relevant intelligence that the section chief wanted them to see.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

And those officers who already knew what was going to happen when they came to this office did not hesitate and started reading quickly without saying a word.

It didn't take long for the officers, who had more or less familiarity with the contents, to finish reading. Then they all shrank the holographic screens and looked at their commanders again.

"Have you finished reading it all?"

"very good!"

"I won't say more."

"You should also know that this transportation mission was originally a very ordinary mission, and there should not be such emergencies."

"But the result..."

"The devils were just waiting there, and were they prepared in advance? Or was it at that critical moment when the transport troops were descending to prepare for landing?"

"More than three thousand soldiers died in battle, more than half of the newly formed rapid transport troops were lost, and the arrangements for encircling and suppressing the demons on the front line were all disrupted... If this is just a coincidence, or a trap set by the demons, I'm afraid it's not

People will believe that things are never that simple."

"So, this is the reason why our department was officially opened today."

As he spoke, the section chief's expression suddenly changed, and then he suddenly stood up and looked seriously at the officers who also stood up in unison and ordered:

"Commander has an order!"

"We are required to find and uncover the traitors, spies or..." hidden in our army or other departments in the shortest possible time.

"You can also call him a 'rape' guy?"

"But no matter what they are called, in short, you must find those bastards who refuse to do good things to them and insist on colluding with the devils in the shortest possible time and bring them to justice!"

"otherwise……"

"Next time, I'm afraid they won't be as simple as informing the demons of our transport troop route. You should be able to understand the seriousness of the matter, right?"

Having said this, he sat down again and signaled the officers to take their seats again, and then he stretched out his hand to signal one of the officers who seemed to have something to say to speak.

"Sir!"

"This matter is actually very obvious and does not require any further investigation."

The officer who was allowed to stand up, and then listed a lot of data and lists he had just summarized, then looked at their commander and his colleagues around him and continued:

"The route map of the transportation unit was drawn up by the staff officers and was not sent to every pilot until departure. Even the commanders of the new recruits only knew the approximate destination. They did not

I don’t know the specific flight route.”

"According to the plan, they took a detour and flew at low altitude for a while before landing. If it was a trap, there was no way they would have chosen that location!"

"So, my subordinates make a bold guess that the suspect must exist among the staff officers and pilots who had access to intelligence last night!"

"However, given that the staff officers are all from the star region and have not yet absorbed and accepted local officers, they can basically be ruled out first."

"Next, we just need to investigate those pilots."
To be continued...
